As you may know, we’re a fully automated digital marketing service for creating and optimizing digital ads on Google, Meta, and Bing. By removing the manual work that advertising entails, we can streamline and optimize digital ads with the help of machine learning, which means increased profitability for our over 400 customers. Amanda AI was founded in 2018 and is growing enormously fast right now, with around 300 percent in 2022, and sees continued strong growth in the future year as the product continues to grow and establish ourselves in new markets worldwide.
The idea to develop an automated advertising service built on AI was born out of dissatisfaction with the available digital tools and our firm belief that digital advertising management is perfect for automation. Our product is unique because the daily analysis and optimization work occurs automatically around the clock, based on hundreds of millions of parameters. Instead, our customers can focus on working more strategically while saving time and money.
